TensorFlow 2.2.0 not importing Sequential from tensorflow.keras.models PyVer==3.8


Here below the error showing up after trying to run, the error does not persist if rolling back top Tensorflow 2.0 version. When autocompleting in Jupyter Notebook all sections are showing up normally, just fails to load. Any possible workaround to avoid rolling back to older version?

In:

from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential

Out:

Solution

  • As of the latest TensorFlow version >= 2.2.0, the developers have modified the way (made it easier) to load the models/layers etc.

    Therefore, the Sequential class is not longer in the package tensorflow.keras.models but in tensorflow.keras
